Beer bottle…12:10 amA 29/f says her live-in boyfriend threw a beer bottle at her car. The bottle dented the car and caused damage to the paint. The guy was arrested.

Burning stump…4:30 amA 40/m says he woke up and found a tree stump in his front yard on fire and a threatening note outside his front door. Fire crews were called out. No word on who did it.

Money Order fiasco…8:29 amA 65/m, who manages an apartment complex, says someone (possibly an employee) took a money order out of the office and cashed it. He says the money order was handed to the employee, but it was not filled out. The employee admits receiving the money order, but says it was lost. The money order was then cashed. The manager received a copy of the money order from Western Union showing who it was made out to with a driver’s license number. The report does not state who the MO was made out to.

Seemed like a safe place…9:06 amA 62/m says someone stole some property he had hidden inside a box which was buried in the ground and covered with a piece of concrete at his home in the 5300 block of S. Seneca. He thinks his neighbor to the south is responsible for the theft.

Well, THAT was strange…9:58 amAn 83/m says he and someone else (presumably his wife) were in their home in the 1400 block of E. Amsden - when someone came in through an unlocked front door, unannounced and uninvited. He says the man asked them if they were okay, he then went outside through the same door, went into the back yard and opened the garage door and an outside shed door. He then yelled to them and asked if anyone was hiding in the shed. The guy jumped a fence and headed north. No one was hurt, nothing was taken.

Fake checks…11:57 amA 30/m received an email from someone asking him to cash two checks, purchase property from two different stores, then return the remaining money and gift cards to him. He was told to keep the stuff he bought. He tried to cash the checks, but the bank told him they were fake. The checks were submitted to police.

Storm door shot out…12:20 pmA 28/f says someone shot out her glass storm door. She and four others were asleep in the home at the time. No one was hurt. No idea who did it. Police retrieved the bullet as evidence.

Stolen dog…12:53 pmA 55/f says she put her dog outside at her home in the 14600 block of E. Sport of Kings. She went inside, but when she came back out, the dog was gone - along with the line that was attacked to a basketball hoop post. The dog is an orange and white spotted Brittany Spaniel who goes by the name “Trap”. The dog is 10 and is very friendly. She says she saw a strange car with two guys in it with two other dogs in the back seat.

Funny money…2:03 pmA 28/m reports someone passing a counterfeit 100 bill at a business in the 3200 block of N. Toben. The bill was turned in as evidence.

Repair job…4:51 pmA 23/m says he found a guy to do repair work on his truck on a website.
